MAGAZINE-PENHOLDER.

Application filed. September 12, 1912.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL O. BOYD, a citizenof the United States, residing at Dongola, in the county of Union, Stateof Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inMagazine-Penholders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

This invention has special reference to pen holders and moreparticularly to magazine pen holders of novel type having simple andnovel means for supplying and holding a plurality of pen points and forejecting the used pen points and supplying a new point with convenienceand without gripping the pen point with the fingers.

The invention resides more particularly in a pen staff having a recessforming a reservoir for receiving a novel magazine for the pen pointsand a sleeve slidable on the staff and limited in its movement in eitherdirection for freeing a used point and feeding a new pen point for use.

Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists ofcertain combinations and arrangements of parts as will be hereinaftermore fully described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved magazine pen holder. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal sectional view thereof with the sleeve in position forholding a pen point, as when the device is in use. Fig. 3 is a similarview but showing the sleeve rearwardly displaced on the pen staff andwith the used pen point being ejected and a new pen point supplied tothe stock of the pen. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of acontaining shuttle or magazine used with the device. Fig. 5 is a crosssectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a detailperspective view of an ejector member used with the magazine shuttle.

As shown, the pen embodies a stafi or stock 10 the forward end of whichis beveled and provided with a longitudinal recess 11 having sidechannels 12 for receiving the longitudinal edges of the pen points 13.This recess communicates with a rectangular recess or reservoir 14formed Specification of Letters Patent.

in the stock in line with the recess to receive a magazine holder orshuttle 15. This shuttle is preferably formed of a section of sheetiaterial, preferably metal bent in rectangular form to provide open endsand oppositely inclined top portions 16 spaced apart to provide anintermediate slot for a purpose to be hereinafter made apparent.

Longitudinally slidable on the stock or staif 10 is a sleeve 17, thesame extending over approximately one-half of the length of the same andprovided with a depending finger or catch 18 extending inwardly toengage behind one of the plurality of pen points 13 mounted in themagazine holder with their pointed ends forward and their convexed sidesupward, this catch being slidable in the intermediate slot of the holderso as to engage the upper pen point only. This engagement of the catchwith the uppermost pen point is due to the fact that the pen points areheld upwardly dis placed in the holder by means of an upwardly bowedleaf spring 19 which is supported on the bottom of the holder and hasits extremities freely movable therein so asto normally raise asupporting member and plunger 21 therein. Thus the pen point will bedisposed in position to permit the upper point to readily enter therecess 11 in the forward end of the stock. Adjacent its rear end, thestock is formed with a shoulder 22 which forms a stop to limit therearward movement of the sleeve and when the sleeve is in this positionthe catch 18 will be at the rear end of the recess 14.

In the use of the device, the sleeve is shifted rearward in the mannerlast mentioned and the pens are inserted in the holder and the holder isthen inserted in the recess 14. The sleeve is then forwardly shifted onthe stock to cause the catch 18 to be engaged against the rear edge ofthe uppermost pen point, the catch being vertically movable for hispurpose and also to permit rearward displacement of the sleeve on thestock. Continued forward displacement of the sleeve will supply one ofthe pen points to the recess 11 and when in proper position, the same isheld and the sleeve rearwardly shifted to the position shown in Figs. 1and 2 of the drawings. Now when it is desired to remove the old penpoint and supply a new one, the sleeve is moved rearwardly and the oldpen point is thereby freed, when the new pen point can be supplied inthe above mentioned manner.

I claim:

1. In a magazine pen holder, a staff having a pen receiving recess andan adjacent magazine recess, a magazine holder comprising a singlesection of material bent to form a longitudinal slot, spring meansengaged in the holder to force a plurality of pens toward the topthereof and a sleeve slidable 011 the stock and having a catch to engagethe uppermost pen point and feed the same to the receiving recess.

2. In a magazine pen holder, a staff hav ing a pen receiving recess andan adjacent magazine recess, a magazine holder comprising a singlesection of metal bent to form a longitudinal slot, spring means engagedin the holder to force a plurality of pens toward the top thereof, asleeve slidable on the stock and having a catch to engage the uppermostpen point and feed the same to the receiving recess, said sleeve beingrearwardly movable on the stockto free an old pen point and means forlimiting the movement of the sleeve in the last named direction.

3. A magazine pen holder embodying a staff having a pen recess and arectangular magazine recess communicating therewith, a pen point holderfitted in the recess, said holder comprising a single section of sheetmetal bent in substantially rectangular form t provide open ends andinclined top portions having an intermediate slot, a sleeve slidable onthe staff, a catch movably carried near the rear end of the sleeve forfeeding a pen to the first named recess by operating through the slotupon forward displacement of the sleeve and a spring pressed followersupported on the bottom of the holder for forcing the pen points to afeeding position.

4. A magazine pen holder embodying a staff having a pen recess and arectangular magazine recess communicating therewith, a pen point holderfitted in the recess, said holder comprising a single section of sheetmetal bent in substantially rectangular form to provide open ends andinclined top portions having an intermediate slot, a sleeve slidable onthe staff, a catch movably carried near the rear end of the sleeve forfeeding a pen to the first mentioned recess by operating through theslot upon forward displacement of the sleeve, a spring pressed followersupported on the bottom of the holder for forcing the pen points to afeed ing position, said sleeve being rearwardly displaceable on thestaff by raising the catch and a shoulder for limiting such displacementof the sleeve.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
